In the following, we refer to the project directory as `$PROJECT_DIR`. To be
able to copy&paste instructions, you can export the appropriate variable:
```
-export PROJECT_DIR=~/nominatim-planet

The Nominatim tool assumes per default that the current working directory is

also add importances after the import. Download the SQL files, then

### Filtering Imported Data
in terms of RAM usage. osm2pgsql and PostgreSQL are running in parallel at
this point. PostgreSQL blocks at least the part of RAM that has been configured
with the `shared_buffers` parameter during

its internal data structures, potentially more when it has to process very large
relations. In addition it needs to maintain a cache for node locations. The size

You can run a small test server with the PHP frontend like this:
